END OF MATCH
The game saved all its excitement for the second half, where Nteka was sent off early in the second half, leaving Angola with one less player, but with Depú opening the scoring in the 45th minute and, in the 52nd minute, Kamberipa equalized the game!
50' GOAL FOR NAMÍBIA
In added time, Namibia changed: Muzeu was replaced by Hikupembe. On the left, Stephanus received the pass, ran towards the goal line and crossed for Kamberipa to head into the right corner, leaving the goalkeeper with no chance of saving it, tying the match once again!
45' GOAL FOR ANGOLA
On the left, Angola had a corner kick, taken into the area for a strong header by Zini, where the defense cleared the ball on the line. On the rebound, Bondo invaded the area and was brought down, earning the penalty! Depú hit the penalty into the right corner, with the goalkeeper coming out to the left, to open the scoring!
40' Changes in Angola
In the pass through the middle, made by Stephanus, the goalkeeper came out of the goal well to get the ball. And after this challenge with the Namibian player, Signori asked for assistance and substitution, leaving the field for Neblú to enter. And taking advantage of the stoppage, Angola made another substitution, where Abel left and Além came on.
35' OVER THE GOAL
Namibia changed once again, with Leevi coming off and Mongudhi coming on. And Stephanus, who had just come on, received the pass in midfield, took it to the middle and hit it hard from a distance, sending the ball over the goal, out!
30' Namibia changes
In a moment of high pressure, while maintaining possession, Namibia made three substitutions, with Amutenya, Haraseb and Kamatuka coming off and Guirirab, Lifasi and Stephanus coming on. These were Namibia's first three substitutions in the game.
25' Double block
On the right, Angola had a corner kick, which was taken into the area for the defense to clear and Show got the rebound, but kicked it over the defense. Then Namibia arrived with Leevi, who took a loose ball from a cross into the area, who kicked hard, but it was blocked by the defense.
20' Change in Angola
After the red card, Angola made a substitution, with Milson replaced by Keliano. Namibia took advantage to press and try to open the scoring by taking advantage of the extra player in the match! Despite this, Angola were the ones who arrived, with a cross for Buatu, who headed over the goal.
15' RED CARD
Nteka tried to go for the tackle, but his timing was wrong and he ended up stepping too hard on Shidolo's ankle. After the VAR review, Nteka was sent off straight away, receiving a red card! In the next (more or less) 30 minutes of the game Angola will have one less player!
10' Intense game
The second half started intensely and continues that way, but we have few shots on goal, even from both teams. Angola tries to maintain possession of the ball, exchanging passes in the midfield, while Namibia tries to launch counterattacks.
5' Out!
Muzeu received the pass on the right, took off and crossed hard, low, with the ball passing everyone in the penalty area, falling to Katua on the left, who shot wide, missing the chance to open the scoring for Namibia.
SECOND HALF STARTS
The players return to the pitch and we already have the ball rolling for the second half of the match of this first round of the COSAFA Cup here on VAVEL! And Angola changes, with Gaspar and Manha leaving for Aurelio and Hossi coming on.
END OF FIRST HALF
In an intense first half with some dangerous shots and no control from either team, Angola and Namibia went into the break with the match tied at 0-0, earning one point each in their debut in the COSAFA Cup!
40' Clear the defense
In the middle of the half, Namibia had a free kick, which was kicked into the box but the defense cleared it. Soon after, on the counterattack, Angola had a free kick, also kicked into the box but the defense cleared it. The two teams played a fast-paced game at the end of the first half.
35' One more yellow card
Now we have another yellow card, for Gaspar, for a strong foul in the middle of the field, pulling the opponent's shirt. Angola tries to keep possession, but at the same time cannot avoid Namibia's counterattacks.
30' Yellow card
Paulus Amutenya receives a yellow card for a heavy tackle in midfield, which is his first yellow card of the match. The free kick was crossed into the box and Vidinho headed the ball into the middle, but sent the ball straight into the goalkeeper's hands without any scares.
25' Corners
On the right, Namibia had another corner, which was taken into the box for the defense to clear. The play continued to the attacking midfield of Angola, who won a free kick, taken into the box for the defense to clear for a corner, taken into the box for the defense to clear again. Both teams began to launch attacks!
20' Balanced game
Namibia manages to balance the match with Angola, at a time when little is happening on the field, but with both teams holding the match, mainly in the midfield, without finishing and in a balanced match.
15' Out
Muzeu received the pass up front, took the ball to the left inside the area, and hit a low shot to the left of the goal, with a deflection, for a corner. Muzeu took the corner into the area and the defense cleared it away. Namibia tried to maintain possession in attack.
10' Ndisiro!
Bondo received the pass on the left, took off and crossed into the area for Manha to rise and head powerfully, but Ndisiro palmed the ball away, which bounced around the area for the defense to clear! It was the first dangerous arrival of the game!
5' Slow start
We have a slower start to the game, where little happens at the beginning, with both teams still trying to understand how the opponent plays. There have been no shots on goal so far, but Angola tries to maintain possession.
